Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

In the blink of an eye, almost an incense stick's time had passed.

A thin mist drifted across the sea, the sky was hazy, and leaden clouds hung low.

Jiang Yi steered the fishing boat at high speed ahead.

Blackie and the other two followed closely behind, cutting through the waves and relentlessly pursuing them.

They were only a short distance apart.

As for Niu Yaojin and Lei Bao, they had already been left far behind by the group who activated the Wind Travel Talisman.

Niu Yaojin was quite surprised by this.

Completely unaware that Jiang Yi and Hei Pi had such a deep grudge that Hei Pi was so relentlessly pursuing him, they couldn't help but feel a little worried for him.

Lei Bao, on the other hand, was somewhat gloating, hoping that Jiang Yi would be caught up and suffer a great loss.

"Kid! You think you're something special just because you've only broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

Blackie sneered loudly:

"Even your damned master wouldn't dare to act arrogantly in front of me, Blackie. Today, I'll teach you a lesson! If you have any guts, stop running!"

Jiang Yi, upon hearing this, remained unperturbed and retorted sharply:

"Little Blackie! You're just a piece of trash! You're nothing but a fox who relies on sucking up to Shi Dazhuang and acting tough. Besides relying on your numbers to bully others, what other skills do you have?"

If you don't believe me, just ask the two people next to you and see if they think the same way!

Little Pear stood atop Jiang Yi's head, its tail swaying back and forth, its big eyes fixed on the villain chasing closely behind.

Hearing the sound, it bared its sharp teeth and meowed fiercely, trying its best to humiliate its opponent for its owner.

Upon hearing this, Blackie's defenses crumbled instantly.

His dark face turned ashen with rage, and he pointed at Jiang Yi's retreating figure, cursing loudly:

"You sharp-tongued little bastard! Today, I'm going to pull out all your teeth!"

Having said that, he secretly channeled his magic power and rowed the oars with all his might, determined to catch up and vent his anger.

Unfortunately, both sides were ordinary fishing boats, and their speeds were almost the same.

Jiang Yi also carried several Qingfeng Talismans, which he could activate at any time to speed up the sails.

Therefore, the two sides chased each other for a while, but remained separated by a distance of about a mile, and could not close the gap no matter what they did.

The two men chasing after him looked helpless and tried to persuade Blackie to give up this pointless endeavor.

There will be plenty of opportunities to teach this kid a lesson later; there's no need to risk chasing him to death at sea.

But Blackie was so angry he gritted his teeth and immediately shouted at him:

"What do you know! Lately, more and more peasants are trespassing and fishing across the border. If we don't make an example of him, people will think our rules are just for show! Shut up, all of you, we have to catch him today!"

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling helpless.

Hei Pi was deeply trusted by Shi Dazhuang and they had a close relationship. They were unwilling to offend him easily, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to pursue him.

Several fishing boats chased each other across the vast sea.

They would occasionally exchange sarcastic remarks across the waves, engaging in a war of words from afar.

After a fierce exchange, he hadn't lost much of his magic power, but he was almost out of saliva from all the cursing.

Jiang Yi was also getting a headache from being chased away.

I felt like this person must have something wrong with their head. They clearly couldn't catch up, but they kept chasing after me and annoying me.

If it were just Blackie alone, he wouldn't be afraid; he might even turn around and fight him.

But right now the other side has a large number of people and is too powerful to fight or shake off, so they have no choice but to swallow their anger for the time being.

A long time has passed in the blink of an eye.

a moment.

During the chase, a sudden storm arose on the sea.

The sea breeze suddenly became violent, rolling in from the horizon with dark clouds.

The sky changed in an instant, and soon it became dark and oppressive.

Lightning flashed among the leaden clouds, and rumbling thunder shook the sea.

Upon seeing this, Blackie's expression changed, and he finally calmed down a bit, cursing Jiang Yi under his breath:

"You little bastard, you're lucky today. The next time you fall into my hands, I'll make you kneel and call me grandpa!"

After saying this, he waved his hand with a stern face, and the three fishing boats quickly turned around, retraced their original route, and soon disappeared into the mist.

Jiang Yi noticed the group leaving and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at the sky and his expression turned serious.

He dared not delay, and frowned as he scanned his surroundings. Soon, he caught a glimpse of the outline of a deserted island in the southeast.

So they turned the boat around and sped away at full speed.

After rushing for a while, we finally made it to the deserted island despite the torrential rain.

He pushed the fishing boat ashore and secured it firmly with a rope tied to the rocks.

He then leaped onto a cliff face and looked around from his vantage point.

This deserted island is extremely small, only a hundred acres in size, and its entirety can be seen at a glance.

After looking around a few times, I didn't find anyone else.

With his mind at ease, Jiang Yi leaped down the cliff and headed towards a natural stone cave on the island.

Not long after entering the cave, a hurricane was already howling outside, and the waves were towering.

Lightning flashed intermittently among the dark clouds, and a deafening roar seemed to explode right next to our ears.

The thick moisture and sea fog blended together, creating a chaotic scene where even chickens and dogs could not be distinguished ten steps away.

"Meow~ Meow!"

Little Pear peeked out from under her clothes, constantly looking at the lightning and thunder outside the cave.

Its little tail wagged happily, and it frequently called out to Jiang Yi, its face full of eagerness.

Jiang Yi rubbed Xiao Li's round head, a smile appearing on his face.

Knowing that this little guy was born a different species and was most fond of the energy of thunder.

After a moment's thought, he nodded slightly and gently instructed:

"Go ahead, it's near the cave entrance. Don't go too far, and remember to do what you can and don't push yourself."

"Meow!"

Having received permission, Little Pear was overjoyed. With a light push of its four paws, it darted out of the cave and leaped onto a raised blue stone.

It stood on the bluestone, looking up at the leaden clouds in the sky, its cute and innocent expression gradually turning solemn.

Sharp claws emerged from the paw pads, and wisps of purple light began to dance and leap among the fur.

Before long, Little Pear let out a howl and instinctively began to breathe in and out forcefully.

Instantly, the scattered thunderous energy nearby was drawn in and converged here.

As time passed, the aura of thunder grew stronger and stronger.

The air hissed and crackled, and tiny arcs of electricity flickered wildly.

Little Pear devoured everything, accepting all that came, her expression growing increasingly excited.

Its fur stood on end slightly, and purple lightning crackled around its body, appearing and disappearing intermittently, giving it a very mystical appearance.

Just like the ancient beasts in vernacular novels that can control thunder and lightning.

Jiang Yi frowned and stood guard inside the cave, keeping a close eye on Xiao Li's every move.

I was both shocked by the sight and worried that the little guy might overdo it and hurt himself.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!!"

Thunder roared like drums, one after another, and blinding flashes of lightning illuminated the deserted island.

Because Xiao Li actively absorbed it, the thunderous aura outside the cave became even stronger, subtly causing lightning to strike down from the sky.

But instead of being afraid, it was extremely excited, howling incessantly in the face of the lightning, as if challenging the might of heaven.

Jiang Yi, watching from the sidelines, had a solemn expression on his face, secretly channeling his magic power, ready to pull the little guy back at any moment.

Time slips away bit by bit.

The storm at sea intensified, and the rolling thunder never ceased.

Xiao Li spent a full hour fussing and absorbing the thunderous energy for a whole hour.

Only when his steps became unsteady did he finally show signs of fatigue, and the electric light flashing on his body slowly dimmed.

"Meow~"

It blinked and licked its whiskers with lingering satisfaction.

It then darted back into the cave, shook itself vigorously, and shook off a shower of water droplets.

Then she yawned, snuggled into Jiang Yi's arms, burrowed into his clothes and curled up into a ball, soon emitting a soft snoring sound.

Jiang Yi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Stimulated by the aura emanating from the little guy, I felt a tingling sensation all over my body, and my hair stood on end.

He couldn't help but shiver a few times, looked up at the outside of the cave, and frowned as he pondered.

Judging from the current situation, this storm is unlikely to subside anytime soon.

He shook his head, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

With his eyes slightly closed, he faced out of the cave, feigning sleep and resting, waiting for the wind and rain to subside.

"..."

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Late at night, the wind and rain had just stopped.

The stars shone brightly, and the sea was shrouded in mist.

Inside a cave on a deserted island.

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, fiddling with Xiao Li, who had just woken up.

He would tug at her ears one minute, pinch her paw pads the next, and examine her carefully from head to toe.

The little guy had a long face, his eyes full of resentment, and he made a grumbling sound of dissatisfaction.

Jiang Yi looked at it for a long time before stopping his fussing.

He smiled as he stroked her fur to soothe her, seemingly lost in thought.

When the little one woke up this time, he seemed a bit heavier and bigger.

Apart from that, there weren't any significant changes.

After gently coaxing him for a while, he placed Little Pear on his shoulder, got up and walked out of the cave, gazing at the night sky with his hands behind his back.

The Milky Way hangs upside down, and the sea is as smooth as a mirror.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath of the cool air, his gaze unconsciously sweeping across his surroundings.

"what?"

He suddenly let out a soft exclamation and discovered something that had been previously obscured by the rain on the other side of the deserted island's coastline.

It was a piece of naturally growing kelp, floating on the sea surface, its leaves swaying with the waves.

Jiang Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He quickly reached the seaside.

Upon closer inspection, the kelp field was even more lush than expected, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"This is an unexpected delight. This thing is delicious and suitable for making soup. Even if it doesn't contain any spiritual energy, it can still be sold for some spiritual sand."

Jiang Yi smiled slightly, made a hand seal with his fingertips, used a water-avoidance technique, and leaped into the sea, preparing to go down and explore carefully.

Once inside the sea, what you see is even more breathtaking.

These kelp stems are thick and grow up from the seabed crevices.

The leaves are over a hundred feet long and several feet wide, hanging in the water and swaying gently, intertwining and overlapping.

Various kinds of sea fish swim and play among them, resembling a deep underwater forest...
